The longest government shutdown in history now has a turning point! The US Senate reaches a temporary agreement and the government restarts, entering a countdown.

Financial news app Zhitong learned that, following some Democratic defections, the US Senate passed a procedural motion by a vote of 60 to 40 on the evening of November 9th local time to pave the way to end the longest government shutdown in history. The Senate has adjourned until Monday and the final voting time has not been determined. The plan must also be approved by the House of Representatives before it can be submitted to President Trump for signature.
